Description: The Common Bigeye, scientifically known as Priacanthus hamrur, is a fascinating marine creature that can be found in small schools under light-protected coral overhangs in the Red Sea. These fish are nocturnal and leave their hiding spots at sunset to hunt for small fish or crustaceans. In the morning, they return to their sheltered areas. With their large eyes, they are perfectly adapted to night hunting. This photograph captures the stunning beauty of this marine species in its natural habitat.
